Velours: Pressure marks resulting
from dampness and heat may appear
to be stains. Such marks can be
removed by wiping with a moistened
brush, ironing with a wet cloth or by
trating with a dry shampoo. Do not sit
on damp upholstery. Quick drying is
achieved by applying hot air — for
example, by using a hair dryer. If in
doubt, please consult your
MERCEDES-BENZ service station.
Paintwork
Do not apply wax if your car is parked
in the sun or if the hood is still hot.
For maximum protection, the paint­
work should be waxed approximately
once every three months. Use the
appropriate MERCEDES-BENZ
Touch-Up Stick for quick and provi­
sional repairs of minor paint damage.
Light Alloy Wheels
If possible, clean wheels once a week
with lukewarm water and autosham­
poo. Use an ample supply of water.
To remove stubborn marks, use
polish or paint cleaner and apply with
buffing cloth or a soft cloth.
Ornamental Moldings
(Chrome-Plated, Aluminium)
For regular cleaning and care of very
dirty chrome-plated parts, use a
chrome cleaner.
